ENOUGH!

“In an increasingly antiracist era when problematic iconography”

I stopped reading right there. The “antiracists” are the racists. Anything they do not like is racist. They used the death of a thug as their poster boy to rally all the anti-American racists in this nation which includes Antifa.

At least Asahara got his worthless life ended by a hangman’s rope. Too bad Manson was allowed to die of old age.

liberals never take that advice. It’s too bad.

I agree. I've always loved America the Beautiful, but we're more likely to get Cumbya or something equally inane.

Just a mere 90 years ago. Does anyone think such a change has anything to do with the anthem itself? This is just another brick in the wall that must be dismantled to transform the country into a socialist utopia. The “land of the free and the home of the brave” must be erased from our history.

Actually hail Columbia may be perfect. Columbia is another name for Libertas which is another name for Astarte which is another name for Simeramus the Mother and wife of Nimrod and the beginning of Pagan belief at Babel.

Once you start negotiating, you have lost. I don’t accept the premise that our national anthem needs to be replaced.

I never cared for the Start Spangled Banner, I’ve always favored America The Beautiful.

How did you get out of hillary's purse?

I LOVE THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER.

It shows power and purpose. Besides the music is great.

Jose can you see......

LOL, I”M A RACIST! Oops, wrong color, wrong day.

As Rush would say, pointing out absurdity by being absurd.

I’ve always been partial to “Back In the USA” by Chuck Berry.

Francis Scott Key, a known slaveholder who once said that African-Americans were “a distinct and inferior race of people...

Do did Darwin and Sanger.

Don’t give’em ideas!

The Star-Spangled Banner is not just some songwriter song but it was written in the passion of the moment when brave Americans resisted an imperial army. The circumstances of its writing is what makes it so special and no simple ditty can ever replace it.

Lincoln said similar things to what Key said.
